The Kananaskis River will serve as a warm-up as you ride the gentle but exciting Class I to Class III man-made & natural rapids. Take in the natural beauty of the Kananaskis Valley as you surf and paddle your way through her whitewater. If you feel brave enough, hop in for a quick swim in the glacier-fed water.

After a picnic lunch and a quick shuttle ride, you’ll be in Horseshoe Canyon. Look around you: 200 canyons bespeckle the area. Cliff jumping is also available, depending on the water conditions.

Banff Rafting is proud to offer tours of the Kananaskis River — an exciting whitewater rafting experience for both beginners and experts. With great Class II and III whitewater rapids, the Kananaskis River provides a thrilling introduction to whitewater rafting. It also makes a great primer for groups and families.

The Kananaskis River is located in the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies, crossing the length of Kananaskis Country. This a convenient trip, accessible to Banff, Canmore and Calgary. And once you tame the Kananaskis, don’t pack up your paddles just yet. Head instead toward the Kicking Horse River for another whitewater rafting adventure, or get back on dry land to explore Banff National Park.
